Leh Ladakh: A Journey to the Top of the World

  Located in the heart of the Himalayas, Leh Ladakh is a unique region of breathtaking landscapes, ancient culture and unforgettable experiences. The rural areas in northern India have a unique culture, tradition and lifestyle unmatched anywhere else in the world. From rugged landscapes to lively festivals, Leh Ladakh has something for everyone.    Located at an altitude of over 11,000 feet above sea level, this region is one of those places in the world. The high altitude and rugged terrain make living difficult, but it is these challenges that make Leh Ladakh a unique and attractive character. One of the most important landmarks in the region is the Leh Palace,  perched on a hill overlooking the city.  Built-in the 17th century, the palace is the former residence of the royal family.
